DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF CUSTOMS LOGISTICS IN UKRAINE: TOOLS, ARCHITECTURE, AND STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS FOR EU INTEGRATION

Keywords: customs logistics, digitalization, electronic declaration, single window system, automated risk management, blockchain, artificial intelligence, EU integration, enterprise competitiveness, supply chain, foreign economic activity

Abstract

This article systematizes modern digital tools and technologies applied in customs logistics - including electronic declaration, automated risk management systems, the single window platform, blockchain, and artificial intelligence—and evaluates their impact on the efficiency of foreign economic activity. A comprehensive conceptual architecture of digitalized customs logistics is proposed, integrating three functional levels: technological tools, risk management systems, and strategic transformation priorities. The study examines the implementation of the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan for Electronic Customs (MASP-C) in 2024-2025. Five strategic directions for digital transformation are substantiated in the context of EU integration. The findings confirm that digitalization is a necessary but not sufficient condition for improving customs efficiency.
